Ugly, but still amazing design

the thought has crossed my mind, especially with what a used 2018 Trance would bring these days...

I liked my 2012 - last of 26ers...I still think the old 2010 Anthem X (before they went all stupid bent tubes everywhere) was one of the best looking bikes ever...

Sell your current rig while the market is hot and get something fresh (and not giant) when you're back on the wheels.

No, I’ll be good. Even with current prices, Ill keep it. It’s way more bike than I’ll need for quite a while - I’ll be keeping it at XC style riding for a while I reckon.
Not sure I’d go carbon again for the next trail bike though. If Trance X, I’d go a lower end alloy model and sway the NX for an SLX/XT drivetrain. Wish I’d gotten one of those cheap Banshee frames a while back though...

I have a bag on my back 5 days a week as it is. Not carrying one for fun if I don't have to.

No-one would ever like carrying something on their back.
They might like having what they carry in their backpack, but no-one likes wearing one...
Putting that stuff on the bike is oodles more efficient & sensible.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Unless your bottle cage mounts are on the bottom of the downtube.

Yeah until you actually have to use it. Tried the urgently swatting at my downtube for a stupid bottle and hated it. Camelbak is miiiiiiiles more convenient and as I sweat like a pig the moment it gets above 18 degrees the extra precipitation is barely noticeable. Plus I've had more than one stack where I reckon it's saved me from injury too.

I believe that's called the Giardia Mount.

The MTB world is trying to banish that problem.
@Asininedrivel Yeah using a water bottle is atrociously difficult.

That doesn’t help me or my spitty!
It’s ok though, I’ll keep chumpin it with my little evoc bag.

I'm the opposite - keep as much off the bike as possible. Stuff on the bike is "unsprung" weight, i like to keep everything in the camelbak where it doesn't effect handling.

Then you’re just on the wrong bike.
